Jomatu Wiki: How to add a new website

Introduction

Before you can edit a website, you need to let Jomatu know about it.
Jomatu needs to know where to find the website, and needs to have access to
it through what's called FTP*, in order to allow you to change it.

If you set up your website hosting yourself, then your web hosting company would
have sent you the FTP details. If your website hosting is provided by someone
else (typically your web designer), then they should be able to provide
you with these details instead†. Note: If you're unable, for whatever reason,
to get these details, then please raise a support
ticket (log in required); we'll try to help you locate them.

So let's begin. Firstly, make sure you're logged into your Jomatu Administrator's
account and you're at the Jomatu Main Menu. There are now four simple steps to follow.

Step 1: Click on the 'Manage Websites' link or icon

This takes you to the 'Manage Websites' page.

Step 2: Click on the 'Manage Websites' link or icon

Before you add a new website, the list of 'managed websites' will be empty. To add
a new website, click the 'Add new website' link or icon.

This takes us to the 'Add new website' page.

Step 3: Fill in the form with your website details

Most of the form fields are self-explanatory. Some form fields have default settings
which are usually correct (these can of course be changed if required). The
last form field is discussed next.

The 'Backup File Retention' form field

Every time you edit a web page through Jomatu, a backup copy is taken of that
web page. The 'Backup File Retention' form field specifies how long to keep these copies.

When you click the 'Add new domain' button, and assuming that no errors have occurred,
you will be returned to the 'Manage Websites' page.

Step 4: Check that your website is in the 'managed websites' list

Your website should now appear in the 'Your managed websites' list.

You can perform the following actions from this list of managed websites:

delete a website (that you no longer wish to edit with Jomatu);

view a website's settings;

edit a website's settings (including some advanced options);

change a website's password (if applicable);

renew a website (option only available near renewal time).

From here, to return to the Jomatu Main Menu, click one of the 'Main Menu' links
found near the top of the page.
